Ji Liang is a friend of Song Jinglan's uncle Rong Heng, and the number one swordsman in the world.

When Song Jinglan was selected as a proton to be sent to the Dalin Dynasty, all the Rong family were worried about the future of the Rong family, and only Rong Heng was worried about the safety of his nephew.

So step by step, he bowed to Cangsong Mountain, and asked Ji Liang to go out to protect Song Jinglan.

Said to be friends, in fact, the friendship between the two is not deep. But it was Ji Liang who was plotted against him when he was young and was rescued by Rong Heng. The swordsman owed his life to Rong Heng, and he had to pay it back no matter what.

Since he left the mountain and went down the mountain five years ago, he has been secretly following Song Jinglan's side to protect him.

Although it is the Dalin Palace, his martial arts accomplishments have already reached the realm of transformation, and there are few people in the world who are his opponents. If it wasn't for Song Jinglan being murdered and falling into a deep well a few years ago, Ji Liang had to show up to rescue him, I'm afraid even Song Jinglan would not have noticed his existence.

But since that day, Song Jinglan began to practice martial arts with him.

Ji Liang had no plans to accept apprentices, but seeing his amazing talent, he was usually willing to show up at night to give pointers. After appearing more often, Song Jinglan called him from "Master Ji" to "Mr. Ji" at the beginning, and later to "Uncle Ji". Ji Liang didn't think anything was wrong.

He has practiced martial arts all his life, like a sword idiot, without a wife and no children. Song Jinglan called him that, and he was actually quite happy.

So later Song Jinglan asked him to eavesdrop on the corners of the palace as if nothing had happened. Ji Liang, who has been praised by the world as a generation of swordsmen, doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong?

Even got into the habit?

The previous month was Master's sacrificial day. He went back to Cangsong Mountain to pay homage. He has only returned since he left for two months. Once he came back, he consciously went to Zhaoyang Palace to listen to the corner of the wall.

Habits are a terrible thing!

Tiandong boiled the hot water, and when he entered the room, he was startled when he saw a figure by the wall. When he reacted, he suddenly said in surprise, "Mr. Ji, are you back?"

In the two years when His Highness first came to Dalin Dynasty, several times the danger was at stake, and it was only later that Mr. Ji helped him secretly. He only felt at ease when Mr. Ji was here. God knows how nervous he is when Mr. Ji is absent for the past two months.

Ji Liang nodded slightly, with a cold expression on his face, which was extraordinarily inhumane against the cold sword in his arms.

But Tiandong knew that Mr. Ji was cold-hearted and didn't care, so he laughed silly for a while, and then ran out to make hot tea for Mr. Ji. When I came back, I heard His Highness ask: "Uncle Ji, what did you hear about Zhaoyang Palace?"

Because the third princess Lin Xi was always looking for trouble with Song Jinglan, Zhaoyang Palace was also a key observation in Ji Liang's eyes.

Tiandong immediately pricked up his ears and looked serious, but heard Ji Liang say, "It has nothing to do with you."

Lin Xi hasn't come to trouble His Highness for a while. Since it has nothing to do with His Highness, it is none of their business.

Song Jinglan frowned, not knowing what to think, and asked Ji Liang, "Is it Mingyue Palace?"

Ji Liang was a little surprised, but his surprised expression was also very light. He was not someone who knew him well, so he couldn't see any change in his expression, "Yes."

Tian Dong said in amazement: "Five princesses? Are they going to deal with the fifth princess?"

Ji Liang glanced at him: "Five princesses?"

Tiandong said enthusiastically, "Mr. Ji, you don't know, but in the past two months since you left, another princess fell in love with my highness!"

Ji Liang: "?"

Song Jinglan: "?"

Tiandong still didn't know it, and continued to explain enthusiastically: "This fifth princess is different from the third princess. She is a wonderful person. You can see that the silver charcoal burned in this house was brought by her. She also gave our Highness snacks and care. Hand cream, by the way, Mr. Ji, you don't know what hand cream is, right?"

Song Jinglan had to interrupt him: "Tiandong."

Tian Dong just shut up.

Song Jinglan turned to look at Ji Liang and asked in a warm voice, "Uncle Ji, what are they going to do?"

Ji Liang had no expression on his face, and repeated everything he heard.

Song Jinglan's expression was still shallow, but Tian Dong was stunned to hear it. When Ji Liang finished speaking, she couldn't help but scolded, "This is too vicious, isn't it?!"

Song Jinglan was thoughtful, Ji Liang looked at him for a while and asked, "Are you going to help her?"

Song Jinglan didn't speak, only smiled lightly, Ji Liang shook his head: "It's not like you."

Song Jinglan leaned over to pick up the tongs and clamped the silver carbon in the furnace to make it burn more vigorously. When he was done, he reached out and baked it over the charcoal stove. The cracks on the hands have healed quite a bit, and when it was roasted by the stove, the faint fragrance of white plums melted.

He raised his head and asked with a smile, "Uncle Ji, are you warm?"

Ji Liang nodded.

Song Jinglan glanced at the flickering sparks and smiled, "I also feel very warm."

...

Lin Feilu woke up in his sleep.

Someone smashed her window.

Bang, bang, bang, like a stone hitting the window lattice. She thought she was dreaming at first, but she was stunned for a while when she opened her eyes. The room was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers, but only the sound of stones hitting the window became clearer, and it rang unhurriedly by the window.

She rolled over and sat up, subconsciously wanting to call someone, but for some reason, the words stopped again.

She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went to open the window in the dark. When she got to the window, the sound suddenly stopped. When she pulled the peg to open the window, a stone flew in from her ear and landed in the house. It bounced a few times when it hit the ground.

A cold moon outside the window, dead branches cast like silhouettes in the night sky, thin

The broken snow drifted in with the wind, making her shiver with cold.

She didn't see anything, and the voice didn't sound anymore. She turned around and saw the stone falling on the ground through a ray of clear moon.

Lin Feilu quietly closed the window, walked over and picked up the stone. The stone was covered with a white cloth. She took it off, and instead of holding the lamp, she walked to the fireside where the silver charcoal was burning, and read the words on it clearly by the firelight.

The light was too dim to look good, and the handwriting was crooked. It took her a lot of effort to read it.

The night was silent, except for the occasional spark from the charcoal stove, which shattered in the faint wind outside the window. After Lin Feilu read it over, he slowly pinched the white cloth in his palm, picked up the stone and walked to the window to open it to see.

There was still nothing outside.

She asked in a low voice, "Hey, can you hear me?"

Only Feng Xue answered her.

She looked at the fog in the night and said softly, "Thank you."

Lin Feilu threw the stone out, then closed the window, walked to the fireplace and threw the white cloth covered with writing in it. The fire light licked up, the white cloth quickly burned, and a flame shot up in the air, reflecting into her quiet pupils.

At dawn the next day, Lin Feilu was still asleep when he heard Yun You, who was cleaning the courtyard, saying in surprise, "Where are so many small stones outside the window?"

Qing Yan said, "Don't be a mouse, right? Hey, don't use your hands, be your heart, hurry, hurry up and sweep this pickled stuff."

Lin Feilu turned over under the covers.

In the afternoon, Brocade Workshop brought a lot of new winter clothes, all of which Lin Nianzhi asked them to change before. Since it was originally made for the eldest princess, the brocade pattern is of course the best, but now it's smaller for the fifth princess, and it's still unconventional.

The snow fox skin that Lin Nianzhi gave her was also made into a cloak and sent to her.

The cloak is made of bright red material, with a few plum blossoms embroidered on it. The fur of the snow fox is white and soft, pure without a trace of impurities. It is made into the collar and brim, which is warm and beautiful.

Xiao Lan liked it as soon as he saw it, and hurriedly asked Lin Feilu to try it on. She has fair skin and looks particularly good in red. When she wears a red cloak and walks in the snow, the snowy scenery in the sky seems to be a foil.

Yun You couldn't help but said, "The little princess is so beautiful, so she wears this cloak for the annual banquet, right?"

Xiao Lan smiled at first, but the smile faded after hearing this, and said softly, "It's not easy to be in the limelight."

Yun You was startled, and then she said, "What the mother said is true."

The year-round banquet costumes Xiao Lan prepared for herself and Lin Feilu were very simple and elegant. She didn't use much of the jewelry that Concubine Xian rewarded, and Lin Feilu asked her to leave.

Xiao Lan didn't ask her what she wanted to do with these things, her daughter seemed to be her backbone now.

The annual banquet is a banquet for the concubines and concubines of the harem. The queen pays tribute to the Buddha. Such a banquet is held once a year. Naturally, it must be held grandly. Not only concubines and concubines performed, but also a firework show was arranged. Fireworks are uncommon these days. Not to mention the shape and color, it is already very powerful to be able to rush to the sky.

Lin Nianzhi loved these, and when he said it, he was very excited, and Lin Feilu cheered: "It's amazing! I really want to see it!"

Lin Nianzhi was so proud as if she made the fireworks: "When the banquet is over, everyone will go to Tianxingyuan to enjoy the fireworks. Then you will follow me, and we will be in the best position!"

Lin Feilu nodded again and again.

Soon it will be the annual banquet, the last day of the year.

The invited concubines and concubines attended the appointment on time. Lin Feilu led Xiao Lan into the banquet hall step by step, with curiosity and joy that belonged to a little girl of this age on her face.

The positions of the palaces are arranged according to their rank. Xiao Lan is almost the lowest of all the invited concubines. After all, there is only one lady after her. Lin Di has been worrying about state affairs for the past two years, and has no more beauty contestants, so there is no newcomer to favor. In the past, all those who were favored had already been promoted, and no matter how bad they were, they were still talented.

Therefore, Xiao Lan's banquet table is near the door. The banquet hall is large and divided into two rows. The emperor and the queen are on the top. Lin Feilu has good eyesight. to people.

You can't even see the concubine, let alone go up.

She also wanted to observe the demeanor of the two noble concubines and the very awesome emperor up close, but she couldn't see anything.

Looking up, Wu Yangyang's head is full of jewelry and flowers.

A hundred flowers blooming is nothing more than that.

How can the emperor have so many women? This is just pampered, can you sleep?

The bell rang three times, and the annual banquet officially began. Not to mention that no one could see it, even what the Empress and Emperor said before, Lin Feilu couldn't hear clearly. The position at the door was very windy and it was blowing loudly. After all, the emperor and empress still paid attention to manners, and it was impossible to roar.

It was Xiao Lan's first time to attend a state banquet of this size, but she didn't seem nervous. She stood up when others got up, she toasted when others were toasting, and finally sat down, bowed her head and ate quietly, and served Lin Feilu some vegetables.

The concubines next to her all knew that she was not favored, and it was because of Concubine Xian that she was qualified to go to the palace, and they did not take the initiative to chat. It's just that she was a little curious about the fifth princess beside her, and looked at it a lot.

The mother and daughter both dressed up neatly, but they couldn't hide their natural beauty in the slightest. In particular, this fifth princess, who is only five years old, was born so delicate and lovely. If His Majesty saw it, he might like it more.

Do not.

The concubines who were sore in their hearts denied it again, seeing her Majesty, they would think of that fool, that was a thorn in His Majesty's heart, otherwise, with Xiao Lan's beauty, why would it be like this.

Thinking of this, the envious gazes of the concubines also withdrew boringly.

The dancing girl soon went to the hall and began to perform.

The princes and princesses were all sitting beside their mothers and concubines. Lin Jingyuan and Lin Feilu couldn't see them, and they would be able to see the concubine Jing Concubine and Lin Xi. When she looked over, it happened that Lin Xi was also looking at her, and she couldn't see her expression clearly across the room.

But Lin Feilu still felt the viciousness in her sight.

She tilted her head and smiled, picked up the teacup, and bowed to Lin Xi from a distance.

After the dancers finished the performance, there were concubines and concubines who came up to perform. There were people who played the piano and danced. Lin Feilu felt that he was watching a New Year's Eve party, but unfortunately there were only beauties and no handsome guys.

She suddenly missed the cub she once chased.

At the end of the banquet, it was dark and it was time to enjoy the fireworks. Lin Di left the table early. He seemed to be busy with state affairs. He raised his glass and said a few words before leaving. Lin Feilu felt that it was strange that the leader was giving a speech.

As soon as he left, the banquet, which had been chatting and laughing before, suddenly became much quieter. After all, the emperor was gone, who would he show it to? Seeing this, the queen got up and instructed: "Let's go, go with this palace to watch the fireworks. Watching the fireworks in the snow is a good talk."

The Tianxing Garden, where the fireworks are viewed, is still some distance away from the banquet hall, but this section of the road has long been hung with lanterns by the palace people. Not only is it bright and beautiful, it is also a night scene.

Lin Jingyuan, who was sitting in the first place, couldn't wait, and as soon as the queen left the seat, he rushed all the way to the last seat. Xiao Lan was tying a cloak for Lin Feilu, and Lin Jingyuan shouted, "Xiaolu, let's watch the fireworks together!"

Lin Feilu tilted his head and said softly, "Okay, with Elder Sister Huang."

Lin Jingyuan was reluctant: "Who wants to be with her..." But seeing Lin Feilu's smiling face, he couldn't refute, so he reluctantly compromised: "Okay, okay, let's go together! Are you full? ? I also put two cakes in my pocket, and eat while watching!"

Lin Feilu nodded obediently.

Just at this time, a palace maid with raw eyes suddenly ran in outside the hall. She looked a little anxious, looked around, and saw Xiao Lan with a happy face, walked towards her at a quick pace, approached and said, "I have seen Lan. Your Excellency, does Your Excellency Lan still know slaves?"

Xiao Lan and Lin Feilu looked at each other.

Then he turned his head and said warmly, "I don't know, I don't know who you are?"

The palace maid said happily: "It is normal that the nobles do not know. The slave was originally the maid of the Xiao family, and was later given to the Xie family aunt by Mrs. Xiao. Later, when Miss Xie entered the palace and was named a lady, the slave also followed Lady Xie into the palace. I've been waiting by her side."

Lin Feilu was almost dazed by this relationship.

Xiao Lan was overjoyed and said, "Are you the maid next to your mother? I also heard about Allergy's entering the palace, but I have been sick all these years and have never visited."

The palace maid also smiled and said, "Yes, ladies are always thinking of nobles, and talking about the two sisters' deep love when they were young." After that, there was another worry on her face, "It's just that the lady was not lucky when she entered the palace, and she has no face. I have come to see you, and please forgive me."

Xiao Lan said softly: "How come? They are all sisters. You are looking for me, but Min'er has something to do?"

Only then did the palace maid explain her intention, with a look of joy on her face: "I don't know, the lady's mother came to the palace and brought messages and letters for Mrs. Xiao. Mrs. Xiao must hand it over to the noble, and the servants will not come to invite her."

Xiao Lan was stunned for a moment, and his face was actually moved: "You...you mean, my mother asked my aunt to come to see me?"

The palace maid said: "Yes! The nobles should go with the slaves!"

Since Xiao Lan gave birth to a silly child and fell out of favor, the Xiao family has cut off contact with her, and she has not seen her parents for many years, not even writing letters. At this time, when I heard that Mother Xiao brought something, wouldn't it be shocking.

Thinking about it, it was probably because she heard that she had recently made a good relationship with Concubine Xian, and there was a possibility of returning to her favor, so she made this move. But despite this, Xiao Lan was still very excited and turned to Lin Feilu and said, "Lu'er, you go to see the fireworks with the fourth prince first, and I'll go see my aunt."

Lin Feilu looked cute: "Okay."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Xiao Lan left with the palace maid.

Lin Jingyuan waited impatiently beside her, and ran out while pulling her wrist.

The concubines and concubines left in an orderly manner according to their positions, but they had just left, and while walking, they enjoyed the night view of the lanterns, sometimes laughing. Lin Feilu caught up with the team, smiled and said to Lin Jingyuan, "Brother Jingyuan, let's play the game of stepping on the shadow! Whoever steps on the shadow of the other party first will win! You can ask the other party for a gift!"

Lin Jingyuan looked like a monkey: "Okay!"

After all, come after her.

The two children had a great time playing. A palace maid walked by with tea and wine in front of them. When they saw the concubines coming over, they stood on the side and saluted and waited for them to pass by. Lin Feilu ran past one of the palace maids, and Lin Jingyuan followed, and somehow bumped into the palace maid. The palace maid slanted, and all the tea and wine she was holding spilled on Jing Concubine who passed by.

The palace maid knelt down in a panic: "My lady's forgiveness! My lady's pardon!"

Concubine Jing's new clothes were all wet, and she was full of fire, but it was the fourth prince who hit him. Concubine Xian was watching from the front. It was a good day. Can only endure.

The queen reassured her gently: "It's okay, there's still time for the fireworks, Concubine Jing will go and change her clothes first, so that the wet clothes won't hurt your body."

Concubine Jing bowed: "Yes."

The maid next to her led her to change her clothes.

Before leaving, she glanced strangely at the bamboo forest in the distance in front of her.

It was really uncomfortable for me, so I could only quickly leave with the palace maid.

Lin Feilu looked at her leaving back, lowered his eyes and smiled.

From here to Tianxingyuan, there is a winding road all the way, with the small steps of these concubines, it takes half an hour to walk. Lin Jingyuan bumped into someone just now, and Concubine Xian did not allow him to run around any more, and held him beside him, but Lin Nianzhi sneaked out from the front and ran to the back to walk with Lin Feilu.

Everyone was talking and laughing and admiring the lanterns all the way. When they were about to reach Tianxingyuan, there was a sudden cry from the flower forest not far away.

This cry was fleeting, and then there was only a small rustling movement. As soon as the walking team stopped, the queen frowned in front and asked, "What is the sound just now?"

Everyone shook their heads and looked at Hualin.

There are many branches in the flower forest, and the shadows are lingering. The queen instructed the palace servants around her: "Go and have a look."

The two palace servants walked over with lanterns.

Approaching, the light shone in the past, and I was stunned for a moment. I was so shocked that the lanterns fell to the ground. I quickly picked it up and crawled back in a hurry.

The more surprised everyone saw this, the queen frowned and said, "What do you see?"

The man in the palace trembled and said, "Returning...returning to the Empress, it seems that...it is a man and a woman..."

Before he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed.

One man and one woman, flowers in the middle of the night, what else are they doing?

The queen's face sank, and she said sternly: "Who dares to defile the palace here! Take it for this palace!"

Several eunuchs next to them rushed up, and quickly brought up a man and a woman in the flower forest. Everyone looked at it, and their eyes almost fell in shock.

That girl is actually Jing Concubine? !

At this time, Concubine Jing had already changed her clothes, but her coat was messy, her hair was loose, her face was flushed, and her eyes were full of tears.

The man was dressed as a guard, and his coat was completely removed, and he lowered his head and remained silent.

The queen almost fainted, clutching her chest for a long time without saying a word.

Everyone present was stunned, only Concubine Jing fell to her knees on the ground, crying and shouting: "Empress Empress help! Concubine just passed here, and was taken into the flower forest by thieves, almost... Almost..." She kowtowed again and again. , "I beg the Queen Mother to be the master of the concubines and concubines!"

After a long time, the queen finally said a complete sentence: "Why are you the only one? Where is the maid by your side?"

Jing Concubine cried: "I was knocked unconscious by this thief."

Hearing this, the guard next to him who had been keeping his head down suddenly looked up at her. As soon as he raised his head, all the people present could see his face clearly. It was not as fierce as he imagined, but a hint of handsomeness. The guard's face was very complicated.

If it is really a thief, can it be this performance?

The people present suddenly became suspicious, Jing Concubine cried and kowtowed: "I beg the Empress to decide!"

The queen remained silent, after all, the impact of this scene was too great. Concubine Jing knew in her heart that even if they believed her words today, she would no longer have a foothold in this harem, and Emperor Lin would not be able to favor her anymore.

This move is too poisonous, it was originally... She was originally arranged for Xiao Lan!

She turned her head sharply to look at the guard next to her, her eyes full of resentment, "It's you! You bastard, you scumbag, deliberately framed me!"

At this moment, she already understands that the plan she set up will be calculated by the other party.

The guard who was supposed to be waiting in the bamboo forest appeared in the flower forest, but Xiao Lan, who was deliberately led away by someone she sent, disappeared. Instead, she personally staged the scene that she arranged.

how come? !

how is this possible? !

Who, who broke her plan?

Concubine Jing was in chaos, crying and cursing while punching and kicking the guards beside him, but he just kept silent, bowed his head and said nothing.

Suddenly, Concubine Jing saw a small figure standing there in the crowd.

Under the shadow of the lanterns, the little girl looked cute and cute, as if aware of her own gaze, she raised her eyes to see.

He smiled very lightly.
